After the temperature of the water in the heater has been reduced by the removal of the hot water and the introduction of cold water to take its place the thermostat will again operate moving the lever arm 7 to the left and opening the valve 3 thus permitting the flow of gas to the burners.

It will be apparent from the. foregoing that my combination single valve secures the same results as has heretofore been secured by I the use of two separate valves, and that the independent control by the water valve and thermostat is just as positve as where two entirely independent gas valves are used. The cost of construction is also very much reduced as it will be the combination valve than with the two separate valves as both valves are exposed by the removal of a sihglecap, and after the valve 2 has been removed the valve 3 is exposed and can be removed through the seat for the valve 2? It will also be apparent that by making the tube 5 and rod 4 telescoping a very compact and economical construction is secured .Having thus described my invention and illustrated its use, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is the following:

1. In combination in ages valve for instantaneous lie-aters, a casing provided with a passage, two valves in substantial allnement in the passage and independent telescoping members for controlling the valves, the one adapted to be operated by a thermostat and the other by a water valve. v

2. In combination in a gas valve for instantaneous heaters, a casingprovidedwith a passage, two valves in one valve and adapted to be moved by an operating means. and a rod passing through the tube to the other valve and -adapted' to be operated by another operating means.
